Hi sifus,

I would like to ask one question. I ordered the Kotobukiya Danbo Model Kit, and it does not come with the silver parts painted (the small round silver at the front and the switch part at the side - shown in pictures below):

My question is, can I use Gundam Marker (Silver) to colour it? Or MUST I use paint (like Mr. Hobby)?

First time doing this..thanks!

What about the Gundam Marker (Silver)? So far I can find the Gundam Marker but I cannot find the Tamiya Marker lol..that's why I'm hoping if I can use the Gundam Marker..

Please advise. Thanks!

Gundam Marker less shiny than Tamiya one..
Tamiya one is enamel base so it is more easier to clean if got mess

Oh I see..yes..I would prefer shiny smile.gif

Any idea what about the size of the tip? Where can I get it in Malaysia?

Thanks!

Have you used it before? Any idea whether the tip is fine or standard or fat?

Hi guys,

I just got a Tamiya X-11 Paint Marker (Silver Chrome). Just wondering how long does it take for it to be completely dry?

I used it to paint a small part of my model kit..after a few hours it feel dry..but if I press it harder I can see my fingerprint on the paint lol..

Also, is there any guide on how to paint nicely using this marker? I'm using it to paint small parts but it usually comes out alot >.<

Thanks!
